Chapter 65
"Very likely." Hu Ba nodded.

They had found traces of other animals around before, such as gazelle, wolf and the like.

But Zhang Jin said: "It should not be a wolf or other large carnivores. You can see that there are no traces of being eaten by sharp teeth on the bones. If a wolf wants to eat the meat on the bones, how can it not leave any bite marks?" .”

Hao Aiguo took a closer look and found that it was indeed what he said: "Since it's not a wolf or other animals, what is it that makes this bone so clean?"

"Desert marching ants." Zhang Jin looked at Shirley Yang, "Miss Yang is a reporter for National Geographic, so she should know about this dangerous ant."

Shirley Yang nodded and briefly told everyone about the horror of desert army ants, which immediately aroused everyone's tension.

"The desert army ants are so powerful, where are they hiding? Will they suddenly come out and attack us while we are resting?" Ye Yixin looked around nervously.

"The ants must be underground, shouldn't they be underground in these sands?" Wang Kaixuan stomped his feet, "After you say that, why do I feel that we are not safe hiding here!"

Chu Jian quickly said: "Brother Wang, stop stamping your feet, it will be troublesome if you lure those ants out!"

"Everyone, stay calm and don't be impatient, don't get confused." Hu Bayi hurriedly comforted everyone, "Zhang Jin, don't scare people all day long."

"I'm not scaring anyone, but don't worry, as long as you don't dig down indiscriminately, we will be safe." Zhang Jin said.

After some fright, everyone had no other thoughts, and lay down in sleeping bags after hastily eating.

Zhang Jin volunteered to be the first night watchman, and Hu Bayi replaced him.

Seeing that everyone didn't dig any stone statues as in the plot, Zhang Jin lay down and fell asleep in peace.

Early the next morning, An Liman, who got up early to take care of the camels, brought good news to everyone. The strong wind and sand that had been raging all night stopped.

"Brother Zhang, it's exactly as you said, the sandstorm has stopped today!" Ye Yixin said pleasantly.

"It's amazing!" Sa Dipeng exclaimed.

"Hurry up and leave when the wind stops! Don't forget, in addition to predicting that the wind will stop, he also said that there are desert army ants below!" Wang Kaixuan said loudly.

After being reminded by him, everyone didn't dare to delay, quickly packed their equipment and bags, left the dilapidated house and rushed towards the camel caravan behind the ruins of the ancient city wall.

Zhang Jin looked back at the dilapidated house. Without the trouble caused by the sudden desert marching ants, the archaeological team would not lose drinking water due to their hasty escape, nor would they follow An Liman to the place where they had been rescued in the past in order to replenish drinking water. His site, let alone the tomb of Prince Gumo under the well, will continue to search for the ancient city of Jingjue according to the established route.

I don't know if things will develop in a good direction or in a bad direction after changing the plot in this way.

While Zhang Jin was thinking, Chu Jian suddenly shouted, "Look quickly! What's wrong with that camel, it seems to be in a panic!"

Everyone looked around, only to see a camel at the back of the caravan suddenly jumped up from its kneeling state, and several other camels beside it also got up and fled.

"Something seems to be crawling on the camel's legs!" Ye Yixin looked carefully.

Shirley Yang ran a few steps forward and took a closer look, his face suddenly changed: "Oops! It's a desert army ant!"

"No! Didn't Master Zhang say that we didn't dig the sand in the house, so why did these ants still come out?" Wang Kaixuan was puzzled and depressed.

Shirley Yang said: "I guess the ruins of this ancient city are the site of desert army ants. Whenever animals pass by, they will come out in groups from the ground and devour these creatures. Can we dig sand for this root?" It doesn't matter!"

"What should we do now?" Hao Aiguo asked.

"A lot of animals took refuge here due to the strong sandstorm yesterday. Before the desert army ants completely surrounded us, run quickly!" Shirley Yang said loudly, "Get on the camels, everyone! It's too late!"

When An Liman saw these man-eating ants rushing towards his beloved camels, he had already run far away.

Wang Kaixuan quickly chased after him with a gun, while Hu Bayi and others helped Chen Jiuren escape from the ruins of the ancient city.

Zhang Jin saw that the camels he bought were trapped, and in the blink of an eye, the desert army ants pouring out from the ground made them nowhere to escape, and almost every camel was soon covered with ants.

"Zhang Jin, forget about the camel, run!" Shirley Yang turned to him and shouted.

It's really not as good as man's calculation!

Zhang Jin shook his head. He didn't expect that these desert army ants would make him flee in a hurry, and he also lost the camels and the supplies they carried.

It seems that I really want to go to the tomb of Prince Gumo.

The archaeological team rode on camels and ran wildly, fearing that they would be overtaken by desert army ants behind and gnawed into a pile of bones.

I don't know how long they ran, until everyone was exhausted, An Liman stopped to rest under Hu Bayi's suggestion.

During the break, everyone counted the supplies and found that the drinking water was not enough for a day.

An Liman also brought you a worse news. In order to avoid the black sandstorm and desert army ants, they have deviated from the original direction for a day or two. It may take three days to reach the next water replenishment point. distance.

The crowd had a dispute over whether to kill the camels due to lack of water. Finally, under Hu Bayi's mediation and persuasion, the crowd decided to go back and return to the original route to seek a chance.

"Hey, I'm talking about Master Zhang, you haven't spoken just now." Wang Kaixuan rode on a camel and looked at the silent Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin glanced at him. The reason why he didn't speak much was because he could only follow the plot at the moment, and he had no room or necessity to intervene.

Wang Kaixuan said again: "Why don't you do a fortune teller for us and see if we can find the water source."

Ye Yixin also nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Zhang, you can do the fortune telling for us!"

Sa Dipeng hurriedly stopped: "I don't think it's better to forget it, what if the calculation is not good."

The discussion of several people also attracted the attention of others.

Zhang Jin saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said, "Don't worry, everyone, we can find the water source. Uncle An Liman, do you still remember the place where the white camel saved your life last time? As long as you find it, you will be able to find it." source of water!"

An Liman turned his head, with a surprised expression on his face: "How do you know that I was rescued by a white camel back then?"

"It's all God's arrangement!" Zhang Jin replied imitating the Xinjiang flavor of the other party.

An Liman said: "Even if what you said is true, I don't remember where the white camel saved me."

"Don't worry, God will not abandon us, follow your feelings, and everything will be fine." Zhang Jin said.

In the plot, the archaeological team was on the way back to the original route, and An Liman accidentally remembered it. Now that he has his own reminder, he should not miss it.
